Area: In my mind's eye, we're the most ideal situation in all the Keys. Cudjoe Key is primarily a residential key, not the hustle/bustle of the Upper Keys which I consider a suburb of Miami at this point. We used to own in the Upper Keys but ventured into our area in search of the last vestige of what the Keys are all about, laid back little string of islands with the most amazing water in the world. We are 20 minutes from Key West and all the obvious advantages to that and we are 20 minutes from Bahia Honda State Park voted one of the top ten beaches in the United States.

We just got back from an awesome week at the Roost! We all had a wonderful time and were quite impressed on how well kept the home & grounds are. We took a few of your suggestions and went on a kayaking tour with Captain Marcus...what a great tour, well worth it! We also went on the sunset jetski tour...I never saw a sunset so beautiful! My oldest son went scuba diving with JB at Underseas, what a wonderful lady. My youngest went on his first fishing trip with Captain Bill, he was all smiles when he came ashore. We bought a few subs at Murray's, the meat & bread was so fresh. I also got some type of oreo dessert they sold in the deli case, it was to die for. I don't even want to think of the calories. I am already thinking of our next trip down to the Keys. Thanks again, Roberta McLeanDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 19/20

March 2013 Vacation at Heron's Roost
March 2013 Vacation at Heron's Roost

I just completed a week's stay at the Heron's Roost with my wife, my sister and her husband and my cousin and his wife. Our stay was just what we were looking for. The home and the amenities were as depicted in the photos and descriptions. The location (MM21.5) was far enough from Key West that the ambience was not affected by the hub bub that was present there during spring break week. But It was just a short drive to KW and we did venture there on a Saturday afternoon. Although enjoyable for a short time we much preferred the quieter existence the Roost provided. Back on Cudoe Key, guides were available at reasonable prices, but we rented kayaks and explored the area from the waterside on our own time and at our own pace. That gave us plenty of time to stop and take in the natural habitat - interesting waterfowl, marine life and iguanas the size of small allegators. We did go to the public beach one day at Behai State Park. Not much expanse of sandy beach, but the water was a beautiful turquoise and very comfortable at 73 degrees. Still though, we enjoyed our time around pool at the Roost more. As to dining, we did make use of the BBQ grill provided on two occasions, but the other evenings we dined out at various establishments: The Square Grouper, Boondock's, Mangrove Mama's, Crab Shack and Taste of Paradise. All are within 5-10 minutes of the house and we found all to provide good food at reasonable prices. Mind you, none are fancy and if you're looking for white linen service you won't find it here. This is sand, beach and water country and that's what the local establishments portray. And there are no fast food, franchise restaurants. These are local, mom and pop types. All's good, all enjoyable and we do intend to book another week's stay next year.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

I have stayed in homes (Villas) from the Caribbean to Canada and quite a few in the Keys. Your home stands out as the best, it lacks nothing. The landscaping is beautiful and keeps the property very private, the pool is crystal clear and at a perfect 86 temperature, the furniture is beautiful, but what really impressed everyone in our group were your personal touches, the ceramics, beautiful pictures, gorgeous dishes on the walls, the wicker tables and I could keep going. Everything in your home is modern, well kept and spotless. We spent a few hours at Honda Bahia park, great beach with plenty to do. Took your advice on the Square Grouper resturant, food was very good. Mallory Square and Duval St, it was all good and looking foward to another stay. Thanks George & Pat PS tht resturant across the road is longer in biz,Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Beautiful house, exactly as pictures show, great location. No beach area. Old deck had nails popping up everywhere which caused one in party a nasty cut on bottom of foot. Just before arrival we were told No Music outside & you had to close windows if you wanted to play music indoors ...Owner response: So I'm left hanging with your 'review'. We have a sandy area down by the water, not a 'beach' in the technical sense. You were there 4 days and we walked in the door as you left with a crew of people to do the 3 month maintenance, painting, carpentry, rug cleaning and you and I talked about the nails in the deck being on the list. Not sure this is noteworthy to put in a review when this was 'on the list' etc And as far as music, yes, this is a neighborhood with people living next door. Even though we are very private and have an acre, we ask that people be courteous and not play music outdoors so as to disturb the neighbors, as it says soft music that can't be heard over the boundaries of the property is fine. Anyone renting legally in the Keys will see that this is on their license, but thanks for bringing that up, I'm sure people are also fascinated by that comment. Three women alone in the house and you're commenting on the music? Sometimes it baffles me the things people come up with to write about. You gave us four stars and never said a word about the wonderful property and landscaping, impeccable housekeeping, clean, warm swimming pool, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, decor etc etc I would urge our readers read our dozens of others comments for a true picture of what you'll find here.

We were 100% satisfied with this beautiful home. We loved the privacy of the grounds. The home and pool was clean and perfect for us 4 adults. Plenty of seating in shade also. Dryer was broken upon arrival but fixed promptly. Linda, the owner was excellent in communicating during the whole rental process. We were close enough to Key West to go in 4 times during our week. We all highly recommend this home if you want privacy. We had a friend from home who lived nearby and she told us all about the blimp and Blimp Road which is a boat launch and snorkeling site. We definitely would recommend to friends and relatives.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Thanks so much for your hospitality. The house was amazing, clean and in a perfect location. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the area. It was exactly as we imagined it to be from your photos. Two days after we left, we were already talking about coming back. Having a week away from our daily lives: work, school and children, we were able to rejuvenate ourselves laying in the pool, sunbathing and evenings in Key West. Thank you!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/2

We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay here. It’s an ideal spot for a Keys get-away -- located just about 20 miles north of Key West and close to the nature and beaches of Cudjoe Key, Big Pine Key and Bahia Honda Key. The house is nicely furnished and maintained with everything you’ll need to make your stay comfortable. It was spotless and easy to quickly make ourselves feel right at home. The location is private and nicely landscaped. The pool was nicely heated as promised -- a bonus for our January visit. We highly recommend Heron’s Roost for a fun and memorable Keys vacation.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

This home and property are absolutely amazing. We just spent a long weekend at Herons Roost and had a wonderfiul relaxing time. The heated pool was the perfect temperature and we definetly took advantage of it. The house was immaculate, and very comfortable , especially with the deck off the back of the house, the view was amazing. The grounds were very well maintained and attractive. Linda the owner was extremely helpful and informative. We recommend this great vacation home to anyone looking for a private, relaxing vacation in the keys!! It would also be great for families, especially with the ping pong table and all of the pool toys.We will absolutley be looking to spend another vacation here.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
